tea party
“There are very few people who have forward-looking eyes. And I think Eugene has that kind of insight into the future.”
David praised Eugene without a smile that seemed to have been carved on his face.
“I’ve always wanted to meet you two brothers at least once. In terms of seeing the future, they thought that the two had the best vision in America. I’m always thinking about what will happen in the future, but it’s hard to imagine what it will be like five or 10 years from now.”
Eugene was as good as David Cork at saving his opponent’s face.
And, in fact, when it comes to the abilities of the Cork brothers, it is not without words. They are people with abilities that even Eugene’s praises are not enough.
It goes without saying that the Cork brothers are great entrepreneurs that can’t be compared to Bill Gates or Larry Ellison.
When he first inherited it from his father, Coke Industries was just an ordinary crude oil refining company with annual sales of $20 million.
The brothers have grown in size over the decades by acquiring and growing companies in a wide variety of industries including commodity trading, textiles, fertilizers, pulp, chemicals, building materials, ranches, finance, electronic components and food, as well as their flagship oil refineries.
And now, it has grown into a large corporation with over 100,000 employees in 60 affiliates.
A few years ago, Coke Industries’ sales exceeded a whopping $100 billion.
Because it is a privately held company, it is not so easy to measure the exact value of Coke Industries, which does not disclose earnings.
However, in terms of sales alone, Coke Industries has grown nearly 5,000 times compared to when the brothers inherited it.
Most of this growth has been possible because we have been constantly advancing into fields with high potential for future growth with a long-term perspective.
For this reason, the Cork brothers are often compared to Warren Buffett, the sages of Omaha.
It was evaluated that Warren Buffett’s vision for the future more than 10 years, rather than immediate profit, was comparable to that of Warren Buffett.
“It feels really good to hear something like that from Eugene, not anyone else. ha ha ha.”
David burst out laughing once more with a friendly face.
“It’s hard to describe how much more we accomplished in less than three years than our brothers and sisters worked so hard for nearly fifty years. To be honest, I feel relieved that Eugene is close with Trump.”
The reason David wanted to meet Eugene was, of course, because of President Trump.
“I didn’t think you were that supportive of Donald Trump.”
It was Ted Cruz that the Cork brothers supported in this election. But when Trump was elected as the Republican nominee, he reluctantly supported Donald Trump.
But no one can deny that they are the most decisive contributor to Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential election.
The biggest factor in Donald Trump’s victory in this election is, among other things, the growing number of people who have been politically or economically marginalized, or who believe they are being marginalized.
And behind that belief was the tea party that had been campaigning against it throughout the Obama administration.
The tea party, a hard-line conservative civic movement, appeared in opposition to Obama’s health care policy, and has opposed all Obama’s policies by accusing them of socialism, or even communism.
The tea party’s political movement over the years has won the palate of white men who thought they were marginalized, eventually mobilizing them to vote for Donald Trump.
And behind the tea party was Brother Cork.
“Donald… … Frankly, I’m not a great person, but at least I don’t think I’d make as stupid a choice as Obama.”
David said in a confident tone. Because he knew well that he played a major role in President Donald Trump’s victory, and of course he thought he could influence Trump.
“Donald is a businessman, never a decent politician. In fact, they don’t even know what it takes to run the country.”
David Cork blatantly ignored Donald Trump.
Actually, it’s not really that bad.
“For him to carry out his role as president, he needs the help of a lot of people, and it’s hard to find someone like that around Trump. haha!”
David laughed very cheerfully.
There are good reasons for that. Many of those who have already played important roles in the Donald administration are under the influence of the Cork brothers.
Right now, Vice President Mike Pence.
In fact, when Donald Trump ran for the Republican presidential nomination, he tried to make running mate Chris Christie, a progressive Republican and former governor of New Jersey, a Democrat-backed state.
But for political engineering reasons, Trump has chosen Mike Pence, a leading tea party politician and long-time brother of the Cork brothers, as his vice-presidential nominee.
Of course, there are a number of valid reasons, but the practical reason is probably Brother Cork’s pressure.
It’s not just Vice President Mike Pence. Mike Pompeo, who became president and appointed as the sixth CIA director by Donald Trump, is also openly referred to as a member of the Cork family.
Not a few others were able to succeed in politics with the support of Brother Cork.
Although they are called the Trump administration, in fact, they are powerful enough to be called the Cork administration.
“All Trump wanted was to be president. So why not just let him play the president’s game to his heart’s content?”
David already seems to believe he can move the Trump administration in full control.
Needless to say, it can be said that there has never been a businessman who had such a great influence on the political world as the Cork brothers in American politics.
Rockefeller, called the denial of the century, and John Pyrmont Morgan, who shook the business world as well as the financial world of the United States, had an influence in politics that could not be compared to the current Cork brothers.
Goldman Sachs, which has consulted the president’s policies for over 80 years since Roosevelt, and has monopolized key positions in economic ministries such as finance minister as well as the head of the Office of Budget Management (OMB), also falls short of the power of the Cork brothers.
Compared to Goldman Sachs simply supplying finance talent, the Cork brothers have been working hard to keep the Republican Party in their hands for years, and Trump’s election has almost made that dream a reality.
Those who understand the trajectory of the Cork brothers are not afraid to say that the true winners of this election are the Cork brothers.
“There will be a lot of work ahead. There is not enough time to correct the stupid policies of the Obama administration.”
David Cork said with eyes full of conviction.
Brothers David Cork and Charles Cork are entrepreneurs who run businesses, but they are also ideologues who have spent a lot of time and money to realize their political beliefs.
The two brothers wanted to realize libertarianism, which puts the most important values of the least amount of government, individual property rights, and physical freedom, to take root in the United States.
The brothers actively oppose the state collecting large taxes and providing welfare to the common people.
The state exists to guarantee individual freedom, and it does not hesitate to even argue that it is better not to exist if possible, close to anarchism.
At the same time, he supports the legalization of same-s*x marriage, abortion and prostitution, and opposes U.S. military deployment abroad.
It is quite different from the conservatism that people think of in Korea.
However, in the end, it can be said that it is consistent with the ideology of conservative parties in many countries in that they believe that they should work harder to survive while earning the minimum wage by reducing the tax burden on businesses and the rich to a minimum and reducing support for the working class. .
The Cork brothers did not stop at simply stating such political ideas, but worked tirelessly to spread their beliefs to the United States.
This is mainly because they use the abundant funds they have.
For decades, he has provided a lot of funding to scholars to induce them to come up with research results that suit their tastes, and has provided huge amounts of money to various civic groups and politicians.
As a result of such efforts, the Tea Party has an ideological and financial destructive power that cannot be compared to other social movements, and has eroded the thinking of low-educated Americans.
And as President Obama’s tenure ended and a new presidential election approached, he again used huge sums of money to create thousands of organizations to support Republicans across the country.
If it wasn’t for the efforts of the Tea Party, Trump’s power alone would not have allowed him to be elected president.
Donald Trump was well aware of that from the time of his candidacy campaign.
That is why he had tried to please Brother Cork before he was elected as the Republican nominee, but Brother Cork had no interest in Trump in the first place.
Rather, they were looking at Ted Cruz, who had an idea that suited their taste, or Jab Bush, the new hope of the Bush family.
Donald is a man who, unlike the Cork brothers, has no ideological foundation.
The only thing that matters to him is his victory, and for that purpose, his thoughts are nothing more than a fashion that he can change.
It is evident from the fact that he was once a Democrat, tried to run for the Reform Party 16 years ago, but gave up on the calculations that he had no chance of winning, and over time he changed his party to the idea that he was also a Republican to win.
Since there is no ideological basis, it is quite natural that there is no center in action.
Doing anything if he can get popularity shows that he never strays from being an entrepreneur doing his best for profit rather than a politician.
“So now I think it’s you, Eugene, that matters, not politics.”
The two brothers, who always look 10 years ahead, now seem to think that Eugene is the most important variable in realizing their ideals.
“What kind of problem are you talking about?”
He had a good idea of what David and Charles were thinking, but Eugene asked, pretending not to know.
“I wanted to hear what you were dreaming of.”
From the moment we met, David asked, without losing a single smile.
“I have the same hopes of the average entrepreneur. Let’s do our best to make a lot of money. And I would like to pay as little tax as possible.”
“Hmm… … Does Eugene want to claim that she is just an ordinary entrepreneur?”
“What. Except for the fact that I was very lucky, wouldn’t it? Moreover, considering that I am still in the hands of an outsider, it is even more so.”
“Don’t you think the current move is too political for that?”
David slowly began to reveal his true intentions.
